Normally My Process Is To Sit In A Room And Read A Script And Talk About It And Ask Questions And Just Create A Dialogue. That Goes All The Way Through Shooting. All Kinds Of Thoughts And Ideas Can Find Their Way In There. As Long As You're All On - We're Just All Trying To Tell The Story So My Job As A Director Is Just To Find Out What This Film Wants To Be Based On, It's Just Words On A Page At Some Point But Then It Just Needs To Go To Some Level Of Believable Storytelling. I'm Discovering The Film As I Make It, To Some Degree.

There Are A Million Ideas In A World Of Stories. Humans Are Storytelling Animals. Everything's A Story, Everyone's Got Stories, We're Perceiving Stories, We're Interested In Stories. So To Me, The Big Nut To Crack Is To How To Tell A Story, What's The Right Way To Tell A Particular Story.

I Don't Think All Films Should Necessarily Look Like They Do On Digital Video. I Think It Cheats The Audience, At Some Point. If You Try To Make An Epic And You Shoot It Digitally, That Doesn't Make Much Sense. I Think There's A Certain Kind Of Film That Could Be A "digital Film." But It Shouldn't Be Interchangeable With Other Films. It Should Be Something More Than Just A Capture Medium. It Should Be A Different Form Altogether, Something New.

Slackers Might Look Like The Left-behinds Of Society, But They Are Actually One Step Ahead, Rejecting Most Of Society And The Social Hierarchy Before It Rejects Them. The Dictionary Defines Slackers As People Who Evade Duties And Responsibilities. A More Modern Notion Would Be People Who Are Ultimately Being Responsible To Themselves And Not Wasting Their Time In A Realm Of Activity That Has Nothing To Do With Who They Are Or What They Might Be Ultimately Striving For.
